Web Design with a Twist: How to Create a Story-Driven Website
Creating a custom website that tells a story is a complex and multi-faceted process. It involves a variety of different steps and stages, each of which is crucial to the final outcome. At our company, we take a collaborative and holistic approach to creating custom websites, with a focus on storytelling. Here is an overview of the steps involved in creating a custom website that tells a story:
Script development: We work with our copywriter to develop a script that outlines the concept and story for the website. This script serves as a blueprint for the entire project and guides all the subsequent steps.
Brand Design input: We run the script by our brand designer for input and suggestions on how to best communicate the brand's story through the website.
Graphic Illustration: Our graphic illustrationist creates custom digital illustrations for each scene of the script.
Animation: Our animator takes each illustration and animates them into a lottie file, bringing the illustrations to life.
Stitching: We stitch all the lottie files together to bring the script to life and create the website's animation.
Content proofreading: We proof-read the content for the website, ensuring that it is accurate, clear and concise.
Going live: Once all the steps are completed, we go live with the website, making it available to the public.
The entire process can take around 6 weeks, depending on the complexity of the project and the number of revisions required. The example of The Carbon Games website that we built on webflow, was a great example of how this process can come to life. It's important to note that each website is unique and the time frame may vary depending on the project's specifics.
In conclusion, creating a custom website that tells a story is a collaborative, multi-faceted process that involves script development, brand design input, graphic illustration, animation, stitching, content proofreading, and going live. We take a holistic approach to creating custom websites, with a focus on storytelling, and we use webflow as a tool to bring the script to life.
